Noiy's Noodles At The Hope. Menu

Tucked inside The Hope pub in Hythe, Noiy’s Noodles At The Hope. Menu delivers a vibrant and satisfying journey through authentic Southeast Asian flavours with a distinctly Thai influence. As someone familiar with pan-Asian cuisine, I was genuinely impressed by both the execution and value presented here.

The menu is delightfully focused, featuring well-loved classics like Pad Thai, fragrant green curry, and comforting noodle soups, alongside exciting street food bites such as chicken satay skewers and crispy spring rolls. What stands out is the freshness of the ingredients-vegetables are crisp, herbs are aromatic, and the balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy is pitch perfect, especially in their tom yum soup, which boasts a bold lemongrass kick with just the right amount of chilli heat.

Their Pad Thai is one of the best in the area-generously portioned, stir-fried to perfection, and topped with crushed peanuts and lime. Meanwhile, the Penang curry offers a deeply rich coconut base, beautifully spiced without overwhelming the palate. For vegetarians, tofu options are available across many dishes, and they’re not treated as an afterthought-they absorb the sauces wonderfully and are cooked with care.

What elevates the experience further is the casual pub setting, which adds a unique charm. You can enjoy Thai noodles while sipping on a local ale, making this a relaxed but elevated dining experience.

Compared to other noodle bars in Kent, Noiy’s feels refreshingly personal and rooted in authentic technique. The price point is reasonable for the generous portions and high quality. Whether you're a local or just passing through Hythe, this spot is an unexpected gem worth seeking out.
